About Me

ABOUT ME

French girl living in Dinan at the moment, I did my share of travelling and I‘m definitely keen on meeting new people, host them / show them around if I have some time (we have a few nice towns and seaside spots around)
I'm an outgoing person who loves to learn from others (there’s no room for judgment at my house—only listening and openness)
I also have my own interests like cooking (my job), cinema (once a week) books, hiking, sailing and party in the dodgyiest clubs possible!
I go out a lot but I don't mind a chilling session from time to time on my couch
We have a nice group of Couchsurfers in the area we meet once a month every second wednesday you're welcome to join :)

PLEASE NOTE: Couchsurfing is a big community and everyone should contribute to keep it positive and welcoming. Therefore, I tend to accept people who are an active part of this community : hosting travellers and being hosted in turn.
If a person has been hosted many times without sharing a piece of his/her sofa a single time...it's not regarded as a positive thing

PHILOSOPHY

Travel isn’t about ticking boxes or taking the same lame ass picture everybody has already taken—it’s about being changed by the journey and very much by the people you meet along the way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I both surf and host

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travelled around Greece during summer 2009 when I was 20 with my two best friends and we were hosted by very nice couchsurfers through our trip in the Cyclades
I had the same experience in Australia travelling and living in this country for 4 years and thanks to this website I got to meet the greatest people and discover the most amazing places I would have ever found in my Lonely planet.
When I was in Berlin for the Lollapallooza festival I posted a message on CS saying I was hanging out there and ended up meeting with 20 people to enjoy the music together

Interests

- M-O-V-I-E-S (lame american comedies, funny british films, boring french dramas, spanish, chinese, brasilian... everything!) I can talk about it for hours and I love to discover new ones
- Yoga, pilates and dancing
- Gigs : Festivals are the best moments of my life
- Camping : Brittany is great for that
FOOOOD (and wine and also beer)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my 2nd day in Australia I did a 27 km hike in the Sydney National Park : met heaps of new people, swam with dolphins, slept on the beach... Astonishing!
My one month trip around Greece and its islands with 2 of my best friends (s'aghapo Crete)
Backpacking through Jamaïca and Cambodia

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be more than happy to teach you some French recipes or introduce you to the music that I love, share all my travel experiences, show you around if I have some free time and try to explain why French people are rude, bad at english or always on strike (there are always very good reasons for all of those clichés)

I currently own a restaurant in the city center of Dinan I don't know if I'll have much time to show you around
